The Conception and Birth of Sweet Pea Jean’s

I’ve been an avid needleworker for over 30 years and still love everything about it and all it entails. Best therapy in the world!

During the past few years, during an extended illness that kept me down for awhile, I had a lot of time to think about what I wanted in life and how I could make it happen. I knew I wanted to do something that involved needlework (my passion), but what exactly? I love to knit, crochet, cross stitch, needlepoint, appliqué, and just about anything that requires a sewing needle. I wanted something that would provide flexibility to accommodate my Red Cross Volunteer work (which I love) and also to visit my granddaughters for lunch at their schools, attend their school functions, etc. I also wanted a little extra income!

After putting all the necessary ingredients together, Sweet Pea Jean’s Stitchery was founded. My granddaughters provided the name of my store. “Sweet Pea” is one granddaughter’s nickname and “Jean” is the other’s middle name. I’ve already started training them to assist me with “Grandma’s store”!

I hope you enjoy browsing and ultimately find what you’re looking for. If not, please let me know and I will try to order it for you.

Thank you for shopping at Sweet Pea Jean’s. Don’t forget to stop into the store when you’re at the auctions. I appreciate your patronage.
